💥 100 DAYS TO GO! 💥

The countdown is on — just 100 days until we hit the road, and it’s time for the real theme reveal… 👀

For 2026, we’re proud to announce we will be exhibiting “Brave”

Inspired by Pixar’s hit masterpiece, step into a world where fate is challenged and magic is unleashed. From a bold, immersive design to iconic characters like Princess Merida and the mischievous young bears, this year’s float will surround you with action, energy, and story.

With Highland influences, a striking centrepiece, and every detail handcrafted by our Club using flowers, seeds, textures, and tradition this is Brave, reimagined.

We’ve been working flat out behind the scenes, and now it’s all starting to come together. The next 100 days are all about building, refining, and adding those final special touches and we can’t wait for you to see it.

CHASE THE WIND AND TOUCH THE SKY

🚨 THEME ANNOUNCEMENT 2026 🚨

We’re buzzing to finally reveal our 2026 theme…
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 “WE’LL BE COMING” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Inspired by the Scotland National Football Team heading to the 2026 World Cup, we’ll be bringing the noise, the passion, and that iconic anthem down the avenue this year 🎶

After all the hard graft rebuilding—upgrading the steering and shortening the wheelbase—we’re ready to take things to the next level… and what better way than backing the boys in style 💪

Expect flags, football, and a whole lot of singing…
🎤 “We’ll be coming, we’ll be coming…”
Get ready—this one’s going to be a belter 🔥

26/01/2026

🎉 200 DAYS TO GO 🎉

With the build nearly back to where we were prior to upgrading our steering and shortening the wheelbase, we’re excited to share some fantastic news.

Huge thanks to Building Renovations Ltd for continuing their unrivalled support and sponsoring us for 2026! We’d have nae chance without their generosity and we’re absolutely chuffed for our ongoing belter of a partnership.

🙌 THANK YOU 🙌
